Job Description

The Systems Engineering Team at Smaato operates a highly available, globally distributed, latency bound web service hosted exclusively on Amazon Web Services. Our environment relies heavily on Ubuntu LTS in EC2, as well as many other AWS services. We are actively expanding to include new technologies and new operational capacity through automation and monitoring. We are also looking into all that new and hip container stuff.

Key Responsibilities

You are an experienced Linux Systems Engineer, comfortable with working in terminal, and editing in vi. You lust for automating infrastructure tasks, and are willing to take on a slew of challenges to help build something new and enable us to meet new challenges.You dream of running large clusters of systems efficiently, and quickly resolving problems as they appear. Your desire for a monitored and properly metricked platform borders on obsessional. You have used BSD and four different flavors of Linux, and found them all just not quite perfect enough. You see the potential in quickly adjusting infrastructure around the needs of the moment, and prediction around upcoming requirements.

Experience with AWS CLI tools, boto, docker/container, or managing “Big Data” tools such as EMR/Hadoop, Kafka, and Spark would be a plus

Fluency in English; German skills are a plus
